Due diligence by sector
Construction due diligence
Construction projects run long and involve many parties, so confirming each company you rely on is worth the few minutes it takes.

What to check
Key facts
- The legal entity behind the trading name on the contract.
- Current status and how long the company has traded.
- That the entity on the contract matches the one you pay.
- Whether to monitor the company across the life of the project.
Why the entity matters in construction
Construction often involves head contractors, subcontractors and suppliers under one roof. Confirming the legal entity for each keeps contracts, payments and accountability lined up, which matters when a project runs for months.
Keep watching through the project
A company that was sound at the start of a build can change before the end. Monitoring the entities you depend on means a change reaches you while you can still plan around it.
